Kick-off meeting in Paris, France (20. - 21. Jan. 2024)
The international project team from France, Luxembourg, Malta, Slovenia, and Estonia met for the first time face-to-face in Paris, France.
What is it all about?
Investors are increasingly recognising the importance of ESG aspects in their portfolios, leading to a surge in the number and value of ESG investments in recent years. This expansion has been bolstered by the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak, which piqued institutional investors' interest in ESG.
ESG investments are becoming increasingly popular, but digital finance and banking professionals lack the necessary knowledge and abilities to assess, validate, and monitor them. This is primarily because ESG themes are new and have rarely been included in any university or professional curriculum yet. Furthermore, there is a shortage of high-quality courses on ESG investments, aside from simple, beginning tutorials.
Train4ESG will fill a vacuum in ESG professional education by developing an innovative ESG training programme. The course, which will be developed during the project, will provide fintech and other digital finance professionals with the knowledge and skills required to comprehend, assess, validate, and monitor ESG initiatives. As a result, the initiative will help to improve the number of effective ESG investments while also accelerating the approval and implementation of ESG-related business plans.
The project's findings will be made publicly and readily available to European digital financial experts. TrainESG aims to reach out to digital finance organisations and enhance its effect on the ESG market and sector.
The project's transparent results will encourage Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in the digital banking sector to implement high-quality ESG education, despite lacking equity resources.
What we will do?
Address a proclaimed professional training and professional education gap in a high-growth segment of the finance market.
Boost the productivity, competitiveness and innovation capacity of Fintechs and other SMEs that work on ESG projects.
Increase the number, effectiveness and speed of implementation of ESG investments, which will have a significant environmental and socio-economic impact.
Reskill and/or Upskilling over 100 digital finance professionals on ESG projects and their role in the European finance ecosystem, while providing a basis for improving the ESG literacy and skills of thousands of professionals during the sustainability phase of the project.
For whom?
Our target groups are:
Fintech professionals.
Professionals working in Private Equity firms.
Employees of Banks.
Professionals working in Regulators of the finance sector.
Digital Innovation Hubs officers
